Is my gps totally broken?

I see people say that their gps locks in bla bla but my gps in maps or navigation can never find my location even when i had cognition installed, now im runing stock 2.1 update 1. Is it like this for everybody? Can the gps in my phone be broken. I use gps alot and sometimes i depend on it but it just wont find my location!

I would run the *#*#14723658#*#* (or whatever it is) and test it outside. Mine got a lock there in 7 seconds, at least telling me it "worked" enough to trust that it wasn't a hardware issue needing a swap-out. I still have never had it work within Maps or Navigation.

welcome to the debate that goes on and on my friend. in all seriousness though ive had 3 different cappy's and this latest one is miles above the rest on the gps issue. i lock in 10-30 seconds, it finds me in nav and even WORKS correctly in nav. this current cappy is the only one that has worked this well just as it was stock out of the box. You can either mess with it or play the exchange lottery...you never know what you might get *hope for perfect gps, no shutdowns, no blue tint on screen*
you can also try a few fixes and change supl settings *it worked 'ok' on my 2nd one changing the setting* but MY personal verdict like most is just return it

Well the thing is i brought it off craigslist so i cant return it

I'm not trying to rub it in, but after having three of them, the Cappy is probably the last phone I'd ever buy off Craigslist. But I wouldn't have known that before I went through so many replacements.

I never knew cappy had so many problems. I renewed my contract to and git the iphone 4 than sold it and brought this one. Any how im happy with this phone more than i was with the phone. I just just want the gps fixed or test it too see if the gps anteena is broken

Great news!!! I DID TOOO!. listen just tell them it was a gift that was bought in store or something like that. you will NOT be able to trade in store for the first 30 days unless they gave you a recipt. after the 30 day period you CAN exchange through the mail. This is how i have done it everytime they send you a new one and you give the old one back. seems weird but these phones have a 1 year warranty regardless. GOOD LUCK!

Exchange with who? Att or samsung and do i need to have the insurance on my account?

you will need to troubleshoot the phone with ATT warranty support over the phone. i havent turned on in for GPS issues *but have recieved a phone that fixed the issue* so im sure there will be testing.. once they determine they cant fix it and your dissatisfied they will get you setup for a new one. YOU WILL have to agree that if your current one has hardware damage *screen cracks, water, battery pins* upon being sent it they can charge you for the brand new one they sent you.

Can I get NFC on my gt n7000 note

Hi just want to know if I can get this nfc mod by flashing it with cwm thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I don't think so, even if you have the software for it, you will still need the nfc hardware to make it work.

there are supposedly batteries with nfc chips, havent seen them but supposedly

OK thanks for the info guys

If you look inside the service manual, you'll see that NFC option is connected to SIM card reader.
Maybe battery can provide NFC antenna but only antenna. NFC chip needs at least 10 elecrical connections battery have only 3 or 4.

This ofcourse is not really a problem.
Just as there are kits outhere to make a dual-sim option, there is no reason why you couldn't put your simcard inside a simcard reader on the battery and then a cable that goes from the battery into the original simcard reader.
Anyway overhere is Europe NFC is hardly used, and by the time it gets implemented we might be using our Galaxy Note 6....

The back cover can provide as the antennae

[Q] Photos with NFC?

Just curious, but coming from a Note 2 and a GS3 I thought sharing photos with NFC was a S-Beam thing and other devices were contained with just web pages, and other smaller information. I believe I read a review on the One recently that said you could do photos. Can you?

S-beam is just samsungs changed version of android bean which uses Bluetooth when Samsung uses WiFi direct. If you turn off sbeam and keep android beam you can use NFC to send files to other people with NFC. Its not just samsungs thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Nice. My last phone with NFC never gave me the chance to test sending images but I thought I remembered to try one from S3 to a HOX and it didn't work. Its a slight gimmick to me since ive never shared a photo with NFC regardless but it's cool to be able to do.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I do it all the time with my s2 skyrocket with my nexus 7. The s2 on jelly bean leak uses s beam and they don't work together, samsung made all those adds for people like you that don't know much about nfc and made them think only samsung phones could do that. Dumb really, also nfc has a lot more cool features other than file share. For sure something to research.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yeah NFC sharing is just all gimmick. NFC *alone* don't have the capability to send large files. And it doesn't even have a long range of reception so they either utilize bluetooth or wifi for file sharing. So if you ask me I'll just use wifi or bluetooth directly instead than NFC. For me NFC is just for secured transactions.

Its fun to show off to iPhone users with it. Plus it's faster than blue tooth, wifi, or using a computers when it comes to a picture or something.

Google Wallet NFC?

Has anyone successfully used their HTC One to pay for their purchase?
How does it work?
I tried to do it at different locations with a wireless card reader thing but it doesn't work for me... People just look at me funny when I try to pay using my phone lol
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Step 1: install Google wallet
Step 2: set up a credit card in Google wallet
Step 3: go to a store that accepts nfc payments
Step 4: launch Google wallet
Step 5: match up nfc antennas with the terminal

Exactly what finalhit said except you don't need to open wallet first. As long as the screen is unlocked, you can place the phone on the nfc spot of the checkout register.
You need to make sure you have nfc enabled in your phone settings though.

You should see a Google wallet logo on the pin pad if it accepts google wallet payments. The only place I've been to that uses google wallet is walgreens. I know other places accept it but haven't been to one yet.

Its faster to just unlock it before you tap it (While the cashier is scanning). The last thing you want to do is hold up the line

Actually just look for the "NFC" or "PayPass" logo, it will also work. Keep in mind that some places may not have it enabled or the antenna may be broken. I have used it at McDonalds, CVS, BP Gas Stations and 7Eleven Gas Stations without issue. Walgreens is installing them but they dont seem to be active yet

My corner walgreens has it working. I didn't know it would work with any nfc terminal. Thanks.

The guy at 7 Eleven looked at me and asked me what the hell i was doing. I told him that I wanted to pay using NFC and he stated that it was just for show and it doesn't work.
Ahaha.

I tried to use it at CVS one time and the lady was like "Uhhhhhhhh we dont accept phones"...... She thought I was the biggest idiot hahahaha

Lol I gave my phone to my friend to buy himself something at McDonalds and he was asking the cashier if he could pay with the phone and they were both confused, luckily the cashier that I paid with helped them out

I've only ever used it at 7-Eleven (with a Nexus 7 no less) but it is slick as hell, not gonna lie. The cashier looked at me like I was from another planet, but it worked perfectly and it was pretty awesome haha. It's actually really convenient too, as long as you have NFC enabled you don't have to launch anything, just hover the phone/tablet over the terminal thingy and it will do the rest.

I used it a couple times, but after trying it... I find it much faster to just swipe my card instead of tapping it, entering pin. Still useful if I ever forget my actual wallet in the car or something, but it really isn't a time saver.

I paid at McDonald's vthe other day. Whipped out my phone and tapped it on the reader and blew the cashiers mind. Best part of it was she looked at me with the sad face and said "my iPhone can't do that" lmfao

The nfc is in the camera right
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Not sure where it is on the One, on the N7 it's in the middle of the device on the back. And on the N7 it works through cases which is a nice bonus too, I imagine it's the same for other phones and devices (not that you'd want to cover up the sexy beast that is the One ). Really looking forward to my upgrade in a couple weeks so I can have a phone that's NFC-capable, using a tablet isn't quite as wieldy or convenient.

I'm personally not sure. I'm the only one I know that has NFC. :sly:

NFC is super slow. So far, Android Beam can only send LINKS, like Youtube, Drive, Play store, etc and small files like contacts.
S beam uses NFC to trigger Wifi direct. But that's only Samsung to samsung.
Unless I'm wrong. In which case please show me the light. I know of no effective way to transfer files from android to android.

Use the app SuperBeam for nfc and qr code wifi direct file transfers.

As of jellybean nfc initiates Bluetooth to transfer larger files but things like links and other small files like u meantioned use android beam.
As gk said I'd also recommend superbeam I've used it to transfer with a nexus 7 and works like a charm it resembles s-beam in a way as it uses WiFi direct
